An Evening of FINN.

1t takes the Knights and Ladies of Honor
to get up party where everything is jollity
and fun. They never do anything by
halves, and they never do anything like
anybody else. They are leaders; they never
copy, and are decidedly original in every
thing. Last night Equity Lodge gave
dance at Changers Hall, which was inter-
spersed with a literary entertainment
Whoever heard of intersperslng a dance
with literary exercises? The sisters, how
ever, willed it, and the brothers were willing
they should have their way about it. At
the door when the parties entered each in
dividual had a cow bell fastened about his
neck, and he must either wear it or get the
grand bounce" No one kicked, and as
the dance progressed the jingling of the
bell reminded one of Poe's poem:
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.
In the icy air of night
While the stars that oYerSprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With crystalline delight.
The party was grand success, both in
point of pleasure and financially. Tickets
were only % cents, and the bells were
thrown in. The Committee of Arrange
ments consisted of Merrick d. Coon, Leon
aid A. Kidder, Miss Laura Kern, Miss Liz
zie B. Aiken and Mrs. f. B. Wilson; Floor
Director, o. W. Erlewine; Floor Managers,
NJ. D. Coon, Joe Howell, L. A. Kidder and
L. A Wilson. Refreshments were served
at 11:30, and the dance was continued until
the q wee sma hours"

AN ANTI.L aBOR FUSION.

The Democrats and Republicans
Generally Successful in Wisconsin,
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April j.--The elec-
tion to-day was for a State Associate
Judge of the Supreme Court. Harlow s.
Orton Dem. was reelected without op-
position. Milwaukee county voted on q
Judge Of the Circuit Court and Judge
OF the Superior Court. The Democrats
and Republicans placed fusion ticket
in the field against the Labor party. At
10 O'Clock tonight twenty-five city pre-
cincts have been heard from, giving ID.
II. johnson (Dem.) and Geo. IL. N0yes
{ Rep. J, the fusion judicial candidates. i, ,140
majority over the Labor candidates.
Seventeen additional city precincts will
probably neutralize this majority, but
seven towns of the county will go strong
ly tor the fusion candidates, who are
probably elected by 1900 majority. The
Labor party will elect about halt the
Aldermen and about one-half the Super
Visors. Both bodies will probably be
Democratic, as two-thirds OF the Alder
men hold over. In many cities OF the
State, by a preconcerted ar
rangement, ladies in bodies went
to the polls and offered to vote, claiming
to be entitled to do SO by an inference
conveyed by a recently enacted law allow
ing women to vote in school affairs. In
Sturgeon Bay 100 of them voted, but
elsewhere their ballots were refused. In
Delavan eighty prominent ladies marched
to the polls in the morning in procession.
A lively discussion followed, speeches
being made for and against their right
to vote. After considerable excitement
the board refused to accept the votes OF
the ladies. The polls were blocked
until after Il O'Clock by the ladies', who
persisted in offering their votes. A test
case will be made and carried to the Su-
preme Court. Reports from the interior
cities are meagre. Columbus, Delavan
and Tomah have elected Republican
Mayors. In Depere the fusion of the Re-
publlcans and Democrats won over the
Labor party. Kenosha elected full Labor
Ticket.

Treads on Teutonic Corns.
BERLIN, April 5.--The North German
Gazette, Prince Bismarck's organ, takes
notice of the conduct OF Senior Mencarini,
the Spanish Consul at Hong Kong, who
at a recent banquet In that city toasted
the prosperity of France and expressed
the hope that she would have brilliant
revanche. The Gazette says that the
other diplomats at the banquet were an
able to suppress expressions OF surprise
at this speech, and adds: Germany will
not fail to make Spain proper and weighty
comment on the occurrence. Spain must
not permit her diplomats TO forget with
culpable frivolity what is due to their
position"
The German press warmly approve OF
the new Italian Cabinet, which they say
will be favorable to the triple alliance.
sTRAsBoURG's sEMI-STATE OF SIEGE.
Strasbourg papers report further ex-
pulslons OF French sympathizers. The
searching of houses for compromising
documents Is also being more vigorously
prosecuted. The Chief OF Police AT Rap
poltsweiler has arrested a suspected
member of the League of Patriots. AT
Colmara a gendarme has been arrested
for placarding the town with caricatures
OF Emperor William. Three leading
residents of the town are implicated.
The. governments of Germany and Aus
tria will initiate the action of the govern
ment OF Russia in declining to take part
in the Paris Exhibition of 1889.
The kreuse Zeitung and the Nationa
ZetinR, In editorials referring to The
Paris Exhibition, both urge that 1t would
be an act of impropriety and an act OF
danger to the monarchies OF Europe to dc
anything tending to glorify the revolution.

MICHIGAN'S COUNT.
Prohibition Probably Defeated by
the Vote in the Cities.

DETROIT, April 5.-While the returns
from the counties are still delayed. it is
certain that Long Rep. is elected to the
Supreme bench by handsome majority.
he runs ahead of Campbell Rep in
nearly every polling place. Campbell Is
probably elected by majority one-third
less than Long, and the Republican re-
gents have been successful by majorites
has gone strongly for prohibition,
but probably has not been able
TO wipe out the majorities
against the amendment rolled up by the
cities. The salaries amendment has been
carried. James Mcmillan, Chairman of
the Republican State Committee, says
that his belief is that the Republican
State ticket has been elected by 10000.
1t being settled that the Republican
State ticket has been elected by about
10000 plurality, interest centres on the
prohibition amendment. The Evening
journal says it is defeated by $500 ma
joriy, and others claim that the majority
against it will reach $4,000. The PrOhibi-
tion Committee, however, still claim the
adoption OF the amendment. This claim
is based on the fact that all the cities
have been heard from, while the country
localities, where the movement had Its
greatest strength, have not yet
been fully reported. All the figures
so far received on the amend
ment are partly estimated, and little
confidence can be placed in them, al
though it seems probable that the amend
ment is defeated by a small vote. This
evening the ProhibItionists claim that
frauds were committed against them in
several wards in this city and say that
several precincts will be contested, 1t
is asserted that known Prohibtionists
were prevented from voting; that ballots
for the amendment were destroyed; that
opponents of that measure were allowed
to vote several times, and that votes
against the amendment were purchased.
THE MAJORITY cur DOWN.
DETROIT, April6, 12:10 A. M.-Later
figures cut down the vote against the
prohibition amendment so that 1t will be
less than 5000.
The Tribune claims majority ON the
Republican State ticket of from 10000 to
1900 and the Free Press concedes 1000.

THE LAW IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, April 5.-The new inter-
state law went into effect to-day, and SO
Tar no difficulty in regard TO the new rates
has arisen. AT the office of the Trunk
Line Association, in this city, it was
stated that the new rule was working
satisfactorily, but that some interests
would be sure to conflict. These, how
ever, were SO trifling that they could
easily be settled by the agents. w. L..

Hall, General Eastern Agent
OF the Southern Pacific. also stated that
the new law was working evenly. The
new rates have been posted in the depOts
according to law, and the travelling pub
lie could see at once what the various
classifcations are. The abolition OF the
free pass system is favorably received by
that portion Of the public thSt did not
